Try just holding the start/stop button down when turning off the car -- that'll work much better than the two-press trick...

Good tip on the CA Rudy. Another rookie question on CA. When I was taking delivery, I was given two keys and then walked through various features on the car, including setting seat position, radio stations etc. I asked the sales guy and he didn't know the answer (surprise!) but if both key fobs are in range, how does the car determine which one to use for seat setting etc? The delivery process was unique but what about when my wife is in the car with me and she has her key fob in her purse, who's key is picked up for moving seats and steering wheel to preferred positions? Of course the easy answer is don't give her a key!

Congrats, my child was born 3 years ago yesterday and reading posts like this makes me want to move to the 550!
PLEASE DONT POST ANY MORE GLOWING REPORTS - IT IS VERY DAMAGING TO 545 OWNERS
Cheers,
p.s - Cowboys looking good at the half!

When you do your setup, your key should be in the ignition.....and same thing when she does hers. Once the keys are setup, the car will adjust to which ever key is with the person who opens the driver's door.
Did that make sense....
